La Derecha Diario Córdoba: military rocket head found in Inaudi neighborhood during urban clean-up
The device was found by municipal personnel and removed by the Explosives Brigade
Monday at noon surprised residents and authorities of Córdoba capital. Municipal personnel found a military rocket head among trash and debris in a vacant lot. The discovery took place at the corner of Sargento Ríos and Soldado Ludueña, in the Inaudi neighborhood.
The piece, whose model and manufacturer are still unknown, was rusted and apparently inert. However, Córdoba Police activated the security protocol. Members of the Explosives Brigade removed the device and transported it in a special vehicle to a police powder magazine.
The discovery occurred during weed removal and micro-dump cleaning tasks. The team from the Municipal Operational Centers immediately notified 911.
Procedure and safety measures
Specialists indicated that, although the rocket showed no signs of activity, all precautions were maintained. The transport was carried out in a transport hopper to avoid any risk. Once secured, it remained under police custody at police facilities.
The origin of the device has not yet been determined. Police sources indicated that no hypothesis about its origin is being ruled out. The investigation will seek to establish whether the projectile was part of old military material.
This incident raises questions about the control and final disposal of military weaponry in the country. In the past, similar discoveries have raised concerns about the handling of explosives.
Precedent in Ezeiza in 2022
In July 2022, Buenos Aires Police found a batch of explosives in the Uno neighborhood of Ezeiza. The material was hidden in garbage bags, including 46 MB 66 rockets and M63 rifle grenades.
Experts stated that they were of military origin and of medium or old age, some manufactured in France. Although no shortages were reported in official arsenals, the incident drew attention.
The presence of this type of weaponry in civilian settings is unusual. In addition, its use requires technical knowledge, which limits its circulation in common crime.
